I feel sorta conflicted about my posted notes on nixops because shortly after that I discovered nixos-rebuild had remote deploys. Now nixos-rebuild itself is just a bash script and taking a peek inside is well, you know.. enlightening. There’s even a NixOS deployment tool written in just nix. I use nixos-rebuild… shell nixos-rebuild switch \ --target-host "nix@remote.host" \ --build-host "localhost" \ --no-build-nix Build locally, deploy remotely
